Bluestone project running over

The construction of the London Centre for Nanotechnology by Bluestone is running six months later than expected and £2m over budget.
The company began construction on the £10.5m project in February 2003, and was scheduled to finish in May, but this has now been extended to 29 November.
A Bluestone spokesman said the extra work was agreed between the contractor and the client, University College London. "We're working to an agreed extended programme. It's the cutting edge of technology, so the department's needs have changed from the initial contract," he said.
Meanwhile, Crestahead, a subcontractor involved on the project, went into administrative receivership last week.
A Bluestone spokesman denied that the failure of Crestahead would affect the project. He described Crestahead as a labour-only subcontractor working for another subcontractor. Reading-based Bridgers took charge of Crestahead last week.
The Bluestone spokesman said: "We're paying our subcontractors on time. I don't know what the problem is, but it hasn't come out on site."
